Beauty School cop outs - MTV

Sooo the good old Geordie Shore was coming to and end.
And well lets a face the facts, that was probs the highlight of my Wednesday night after coming home from work or uni.
 
I thought I would record this program and have a look at it later if I could be bothered. by half way through the program I was reading some friends tweets saying "THIS IS DEFS MY FAV PROGRAME" and then getting excited bc the cast members where RT and Fav the tweets, which can be sooooo hard these days. I thought hmmmmm I may have to watch this.
 
Within ten mins I was tweeting how much I loved this program and it was true!!!!
 
BEAUTY SCHOOL COP OUTS!!!!!
 
First thoughts hmmmm....
 
My first person I loved was Tara, she was mum that you dont piss with and had a point that she had proved before she even said it. Mums can be fun! 
 
However that later led to Poor Jeremy getting heart broke on the last day :'( but grrrrrrrr mabey he would have had more of a chance if he didnt play Sav!!!!!
 
As angry as I got for Jeremy’s poor attitude towards women, I couldn’t help but stare at his legs, like dammmmnnnn boy if beauty doesn’t work out please become a professional twister player!!!!
 
 
Which of course takes me to Richard his wing mate, well till him and Scarlett became a thing, . I dont even know if they are still together, but thank goodness for twitter it seems on the upside!!!! To be honest I thought Richard was going to be just like Jeremy and tap Scarlett and run for the hills!!!!! but his smile at her says it all :) that glowing white smile that he gives her and that cheeky grin she gave back. I dont think I need to say anymore. What a gentle man :) 
 
 
But I felt like that kinda reflected on Savannah an how unfairly she got played in the end, BY YOU KNOW WHO. But at the end of the day Barbie always get her Ken ;)
 
Ohhhh and the list goes on and on and on. You may be thinking by now, "Ive seen this I already know". or "nooooo wayyyy is it like that". But I guess the only way to explain the show is to describe each person. Honestly whoever picked these people were good at thier job :) 
 
Except for Dan. I honestly felt super bad for him not getting along with the house. I mean in comparison to some of the house mates Dan had alot of qualities that were lacked in the house. He was loyal and never gave up. I mean towards the end Danny boys tears just showed how his true colours hadnt quite come out yet. Which makes me expect that if thier is a next season that I think Dan will be a different person and I cant wait to see. Who knows he may be over his fear of moths :p
 
 
And I didnt know it was possible to say these names in the same sentence but lets give it a go SACHA and DAN. hmmm while Im sitting here lost in translation, this girl rocks hands down. I love her style and love for cats. (Im currently typing this with my cat on my lap, so I already feel a connection hahaha) nuff said.
 
 
and how could I forget the one who keeps the peace but is farrrrr from bland. Calvin!!!!!!! Lady or Gent, Calvin is always looking good. Not even a guy straight as a ruler could deny that.
 
 
Overall I guess you could say this is byyyyy far my fav show and I hope that they read this blog or even follow me on twitter :)
 
But hey im still hanging out for a seaon two for now.
You may have noticed I added some tweets they have sent me over time :) arnt they all just so nice?!? thats not even all of them but hey Im happy :)
 
 
And a shout out to them reading my blog too.










P.s this blog was written a while ago, however I have re posted it on my new blog xo

Lets go to the beach, each let's go to the beach.

Wasssssssuuppp.

So I went on my families annual beach holiday. This year we went to Waitarere. And I was more than excited to go weehoooo we got this amazing house BEACH FRONT. I mean how exciting would it be to walk out your house and be on the beach. Until we turned up and people were in our rented house. ahhhh turns out it was double booked so we were homeless on holiday. ahhhhh but we went to the four square and they gave us some numbers and lovely lady rented her cottage which wasnt beach front, but the water was amazing. When you stay in a place that has to use rain water no matter how rich you are you really appreciate a full pressure shower and drinking water that hasnt got a stench of eggs and colour of rust. EWWW.

Any way. It was great. We well...we went to the beach about two or three times a day and the waves were amazing. Except on the second day in there were so many freaking jelly fish, blue bottles and I got stung on the wrist. It hurt like a B**** but I think that was the shock I sprinted out of the water sooooo fast but after sleeping myself better the jelly fish were allllll gone by the next day including the ones on the shore. and there were millions. I was swimming with jelly sandals on to avoid them. You would think that you would be safe with all the jelly fish gone! until I  reach under the water to throw sand at my dad and hit the rim of a pipi on my hand and got a fright thinking it was a crab. The sea has not safety. However I did enjoy the fact that when I was walking into the water a fish jumped in the air and slapped my bum, dad said it was a "Bottom feeder" Only to have millions of fish follow that one around and in between your legs. it was crazy, I love the randomness of the ocean. You see those small little shinny things, yup they were the cray amounts of jelly fish.




What I love most about Waitarere beach was the sand bank, I would walk in the sea till it hit my chest and then I would take two more steps and then all of a sudden the sea would come down to my shins. It was crazy but funny as the sandbank would move with the tide so you would never know when the water would just go shallow and how far away it was. You could also drive on the beach witch was so fun, no speed limit all the way from otaki to foxton and probs further, the only problem was if kids drug holes you would get stuck of drift wood was bumpy. There was a funny day when there were so many jelly fish on the shore that when you were driving over them it sounded like you were driving on bubble wrap as thier bubble poped. ohh and they were dead already so we wernt horrible people.



But the beach wasnt all that Waitarere had on offer. we checked out the local restaurant and I had a chicken pineapple burger yummmmm., and we found a blue berry farm/ alpaca farm/ hat shop and bed in breakfast. all with one owner. I had so much fun taking selfies with the alpacas and then ate so many blueberries I felt sick. We also ate heaps of ice cream for the hot weather mum bought this ice cream buckets and spades and I loved them x

It's not hard to admit- I'm brand loyal to BENEFIT.

Soooooo my all time fav brand of cosmetics for sure is Benefit.
The name has no justices. its more than a benefit its a girls best friend.



The first time I ever saw, heard or imagined owning benefit makeup was last year when I went up to the ONLY benefit counter in the whole of NZ. I didnt really know much about benefit but when I saw the counter I feel in love. I am a marketing student so its hard to fool me on good packaging. BUT WOW. bright colour retro designs. this hit the market spot for me. I have never ever bought something expensive before learning the brand. But I saw the moon beam and thought "you know what im having a weekend of luxury why not?" and while is was hard to get service from the ladies as they were helping way richer and posher people (I assume, and didn't like!)  as the counter as with all the other counters in that store would show prices and being a student, thats kinda important. However at the price of $40 for something I had never tried before, and the ladies weren't helping me, even though I was dying to buy something I just wanted to test it!!! I was with my friends and she suggeted I got the box set that included the mini moon beam so if I liked it I could come back and if I didnt I still had many other goodies with it. and for $60 in comparison that was a great idea. I walked out the store with my bright pink bag, and I still have it (Its just so pretty) I was happy :)

Weeks and weeks on I couldn't bring myself to using it. It was just so pretty in the box. However I had work in the morning and I had just run out of my eyeliner OHNO. and there were two hot french boys at my work so I needed to look my best. and I was the best eyeliner I have ever used. I dont have longer than ten mins to do my makeup in the morning and this pencil was like using pencil on paper. easy peasy. but what I like is that it was hard to smudge. I get up so early so rubbing my eyes is hard to avoid however not only could I get away with the odd rub but it stayed on all day. I then used the moon beam that I haddnt used yet and was dying to try. I had to google how to use it as the way I wore the moon beam wasnt showing, turns out that you dont need to rub it in intensely. And  not only that but the multiple uses for it are amazing, a contour or and eye primmer too. I also and this is by far the best mascara I have ever worn was the "Yes, they're real" I have always opted to using drug store mascaras like maybeline brand line ones, however this  was beyond anything I have ever used. People all day were commenting on my eyes, and I had only put that one product on them. even the lifeguard after swimming! Finally the last product was the dandelion blush I have never used such a pale blush so ignored it for ages until thought one day when someone said my blush was like the mad butchers wife (How rude)  I decided okay then maybe I should tone it down. so I tried it and guess what I LOVED IT. I worked perfect with my bronzer underneath. This was well worth its money. I have now "hit the pan" of my blush and cant wait to buy the big exact same blush. However I still havnt used the "That gal primmer" As I am a person who uses thing one buy one.

Here are some pics of the days that I have used this kit as part of my usual makeup

 Since buying this I have gone on the Benefit site and purchased the Cabana Glama & the Perk-up Artist  as they were both on sale for only $18 USD and $15 USD for each product plus $18 for the shipping. Which is amazing for someone who lives in NZ as it would cost me 30 dollars to fly up to the only benefit counter in the country. I cant wait to try them out and will post the reviews up soon. 

I also got two free samples in the package which one came with a brush init as well and I'm over the MOON BEAM about that ;)

In the future I will be purchasing the foundation as I have seen many beauty gurus use it and the I want the full size dandelion blush OF COURSE. 

I would also like to thank Benefit on twitter for reading my blog :)

Tips to get juicy lips

Okay so we all have those friends (or  you) who have dry shriveled up lips that they bite at and it can just ruin your whole look. and you dont need to have huge lips to fix that, but some people like it so read below to find out some tips to save your lips or make them bulge to the max. If your interested in my makeup products I get them often from online sales. if you want to know more about the site please ask or use the adverts to the side thats how I find them x

1. Exfoliate
Using the "Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub"  This will clean any dead pealing skin or any left over lunch off your lips. It will also irritate them in a way that will make your lips mildly swell to make them temporally bigger. However using this scrub will not cause any pain or permanent damage and if you cant afford to pay the price for the pottle you can just use plain old white sugar. 

2. Lip Liner
If you have no clue how to apply lip liner then please read my previous blog about lip liner it has a great example. You can use it to colour in your lips, however you can apply lip stick over the top. Lip liner will always make your lips have an overall fuller look as they have the advantage of reaching every edge of you lip.

3. Colour.
I have always said dark is bold. If you want to look juicy and natural stick to the neutrals however I especially recommend this for people with dark hair either purple or red. 

4. Lip Gloss
I dont care who you are. Lip Gloss is always the key to the lips. It adds shine to attract light to bounce off it and takes away any signs of dry lips and prevents your lipstick from drying out and looking shriveled. 

5. Shadows
This is an extra little hint, by adding a little faint line of bronzer under your lip it will make a little shadow to add a 3D effect. 

This was my finished result.

           
                                           








I hope you enjoy my selfies xo. Please let me know if you have any tips to add to this or any of your fav lip colours xoxoxoxox

Holy Grail of the week. Dry Shampoo

Okay so this is my everything.
I get dry, split ends and Im sure my bad shampooing habits are not helping with washing it nearly everyday.
But I cant help that!!!! I get greasy roots fast, expesh at the front with my fringe which im constantly playing with and sorting out.

However just a spray of dry shampoo before I go out every day and I never ever have to go through the effort of washing my hair so I know that people wont see gross oily hair roots.

Here is a shout out to Phoebe Cate who introduced me to this product even though I didnt believe her. You were so right xo http://phoebecate.blogspot.co.nz/ Check out her page too. xoxoxoxo

I tried to see how long I could go without washing my hair and replacing it with dry shampoo, a week later and I gave up. However it is hard to get every root of your hair as it hasnt got the same lathering technique so the longer you go without washing your hair the more you have to spray through out your hair and the patchy of dryness. However I did pick up that spraying it on top of you head and then rubbing it with a towel worked really effectively. If I ever go camping again this will be the first thing I will pack.

I now wash my hair every 3 to 4 days and spray some of the dry shampoo on my fringe every day and I have never ever had a greasy hair again.

Not only that but if your lucky like me you only pay $4 a can!!!!!!
However I have tried using different brands and let me say NOTHING is like this brand, im so happy that it is the cheapest and best product.

Not only that but it ads VOLUME . I have flat hair and have breakage due to having long hair so I prefer to using shampoos of repair suppose to volume and I avoid hair dryers and straightners unless its a special occasion.

You can also get this range of dry shampoos in a huge selection. I get the XXL bottle to save money however I have seen it in small and mediums, I love the small one to stick in my hand bag or over night bag so I can hair great hair going in and going out of places.

I use the "SEXY AND GLAM" dry shampoo as the smell isnt as nice as some of the others but it comes with gold glitter!!!!!

However some of the other ones in the range can give you more bounce volume and many more things. And I swear by Batiste that if it says it will so something IT WILL DO IT!!!!

Some people I have also noticed question it for hair colour as it comes out white, however I have brown hair and you just have to spray it from a bigger distance or if you need the extra help of the dry shampoo once you have put it in and you can see bits of white shampoo in your hair, I just rub it against my scalp and then flick little bits of water as it dissolves really easily. You can also apply this product and then proceed with using your hair tools and apply heat. No problems!!!

Is it damaging? I have searched and searched for one bad case of damage from this product. AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. One person did something crazy and it got stuck to there scalp but they had already done that before the dry shampoo. So my answer is NO it's hair saving

I also like to have funky up dos styles for parties and this products without hair spray that it horrible to clean out the next day gives the texture so you dont have to tease  or hair spray your hair !!!!


I use the Gold bottle (five from the right) Sexy and Glam. 
Not only is this a great product. But it used by soooooo many people. I was super excited when I was watching Beauty School Cop Outs and I noticed in the background a bottle sitting next the hair spray.

 <3 This is my Holy Grail and I love it <3

This product for the smell alone I would give a 10 out of 10

Cher Llyod's makeup look

I wish I had style, I wish I had flash, Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack

Oh Cher pfft you dont need any of the above. 


If Cher sees it and she wants it, she gets it. 
In this song "I Wish" she dreams and wishes that she could have what she hasn't got (What Cher damn girl you got everything) But by the end she walks out the bar and gets followed out and I guess the moral was just flaunt what you already have and you can have any man after you hmmmm close enough.







Lets get a close up on the facials that give the look the real x factor ;)


Nothing give a nice healthy glow like a some cheeky smile. However what really shows that big smile is those cheeks. However Cher already has a very small head, so her cheek bones already stick out, so no need for any bronzer, however rather than using a heavy pink blush this look has used more of a pale pink, In this case I reckon that it matchs very close to this "Dandelion" By Benefit cosmetics. I find this colour matches with any brown shades so if you do require a brown line on the cheek to get chers bones line then this product will still give you Chers cheeky smile look.

Next we have Cher's next face "Clearly I like them dumb"
This is where Red Lipstick is your best friend, Its classic, sexy, matches everyone and wont make your teeth look at yellow!!!
For this I used the "model co lipstick party proof range".
My fav and the one that matched Cher the most is the reddest one in the pic below.











And for the final face "Humble Bumble".
Chers eyes should be more than famous in my eyes. She can pull off any style with just her eyes, as shown before she can glare, she can stare and she can play nice. 
How she can make this look go along way is starting with the brows, her look is always tidy, and show a different message on each mood, raised= grrrrrr normal= :'(((( 
She also uses minimal eyeliner and sticks to neutral brown shades and depends on the fake eyelashes to widen her eyes for the overall look.

For the products I reccomend "Natio Eye brow kit" , "Benefit Greetings from Cabana eye shadow palette" and "Australis eyeliner"






If you really decide this look isnt for you just stick a couple of capsicums in front of your chest ;)


Signs that tell you, you're a makeup bag hoarder.

Good makeup takes time!!! ask any chick that :)
And sometimes life will throw wind, rain, or tears that will not agree with our fresh look of the day.

so when your out its understandable that its essential that you should bring along a few pieces for insurance.

However sometimes you need to take a look in your handbag and go "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". 
Here are my top tips of signs that you need a change in your bag  Lifestyle. 

Number 1

These are my old habits:
Broken Foundation
Old foundation samples
Foundations that arnt even my skin tone but close enough
A huge hair brush
Multiple Lipsticks
Lip glosses
Eye shadows 
Bronzers and blushes
Dry shampoo
Mini Makeup brushes
Eyeliners (White and Black)
Mascaras
Hair ties and bobby pins
and full sized hand creams


The first sign to fixing a problem is the owning up to a problem. 
If you can say "I use bigger handbags bc my makeup bag wont fit" or "I try to fit all my bathroom essentials in here".
Then keep reading!!!!

Number 2:
Not knowing how to get rid of anything.
We all have our reasons for each piece that constructs a need for each item. my personal fav is "Well a friend may need it while im out with them"
No!!! they most likely have the same problem as you girl.

Lets look at that list again shall we?!?

Broken Foundation  These can always find away to fall out into your bag making it a bigger waste and unclean to ruin other products

Old foundation samples When on the street you may be given a free sample, take it home. You dont know what the product can do to your skin if you havnt tried it.

Foundations that arnt even my skin tone but close enough Nope, save it for the house mix moisturizer with it or find a friend who may want to trade with you. this isnt a dumping ground!

A huge hair brush  your brush can hold oils and dandruff and with it just sitting lose it can make its way to other products in your bag that may have a lose lid.

Multiple Lipsticks I always forget to take out a lippy before I put the next one in. The more lippy the more they rub and can crack so all that hairbrush dirt can get in. rule of thumb: take a lippy out then put a lippy in.

Lip glosses  Lipgloss and a lipstick one of each. Your lips wont fall off with out them, you may get chapped lips but I find it hard not to suck all the yummy lipgloss off and that kills my lips.

Eye shadows ,  Bronzers and blushes   makeup bags are for touch up. you dont need the whole bathroom in your makeup bag. adding these over what you already have cna just look cakey and having these things will never fix anyting second time round.

Dry shampoo  This is my quick fix, but if you get oily hair like me, you should put it on before you go out. If you really need it after the gym, buy the travel size bottles and keep the lid, it helps so any accidental spraying to contaminate other products in there.

Mini Makeup brushes  these are no good if you dont have the right products for them, not only that is mini brushes are just never as good as your ones at home. Just take em out!!! - they also carry old bits of makeup to add to the mix of debris hanging around.

Eyeliners (White and Black),Mascaras  Some times we rub our eyes, or we go for a swim, or we have had a bad day. But your eyes are vulnerable areas. if they are even slightly irritated adding cosmetics to them will not make you look any better. just wait a bit till you get home. And as for loiquid eyeliners they take time, if your needing to re do your eyes, then dont even try unless you want to end up like a panda or locked in a public toilet for ages.

Hair ties and bobby pins you never need more than three bobby pins, if you do then your hair is not fixable with them. hair ties and bobby pins are know for just sitting in your bag,  they pick up all the yucky bits and lets be honest if they arnt on your wrist you always just ask your mate instead.

and full sized hand creams These are not made for bags, they are big and have to sit with other things. Instead why dont you moisturize them when you are at home or just bring a small bottle made for makeup bags with you?

Number 3
Have fun clearing it out!!!
It came great joy to me as things I thought that were missing I found!!!
Buy a new bag, or wash out your current one. Its important that your bag is cleaning bc what goes in there you rub on your face.



This is what I carry in my bag now

A brush  on foundation / Illuminator.
-If I get splashed in the face or I need a touch up. I can just rub this over my face and it re blends everything bad into order. It also has its own Brush with a lid. So when it sits in my bag nothing can fall out or in of it, so it remains clean.

Concealer stick
If a blemish pops up this can just dab on easy. Once again it comes with its own brush for application.


Mini Eyeliner
If you do a little smudge this can be use for a quick touch up, however it wont do a full job on your eyes. And yes it has a lid and a twisty thing for hygiene.

Luch- Lip scrub
If your lips do peal and chap and your about to go meet your loved one, this will remove all that unwanted dead skin. Dont try chap sticking it when this simple pot will work for hours and hours.

Two in One Lipstick/Lip gloss
If you cant get your head around switching your lipsticks for each day, pick one that goes with multiple looks, with the lip gloss you get a nice pink, without the lip gloss the lippy remains red.



Hope this has helped out those in need!!! 
<3 Please comment  what your hoarding problem is <3

Make up organizing using $2 shop food containers.

I am such a messy person. I organize something bc I have to not bc  I want too.
I loved organizing my makeup, however when I go to apply my makeup the next day, everything always ends up on the floor :'(

So I went to a discount store today and saw these bright party food wrappers. And lets just say my creative bone kicked in hahaha. 












^^^ These products I bought all from "Uncle Bills", except the cupcake holders which were from "Pete's Emporium" 

They all cost under $4 for the pack of what they came in. and had different amounts in terms of quantity

.









Drinks cup NAH UH!!! A key issues with brushes is that it is sooooo hard to find something for them to stand in. This not only helps me find a brush super easy and fast, but the height is perfect for brushes, so that you can where each brush is, but is stable enough to not knock over. 

I also found that if you put some makeup remover in the bottom of one and then put your brushes in upside down it soaks them and makes cleaning them easier, WITHOUT USING WATER. and as you may know water can make the bristles fall out.









Sorry ladies, what lies on the lips is forever on the hips, so no gelato today :( However I found this super helpful for storing round items. My blushes, My bronzers all come in round shapes. And its soooo hard to fit that or stack them so its an easy mess to make.  I found each container can fit about two blushes or round items, and have a sturdy base, bc as said earlier stacking can be hard for a lot of blushers and bronzers so this will add some strength in comparison to the cupcake holders.








sooooo for $3.60 for only 50 of these cupcake holders, I had to think of some good ideas. They arnt as strong as the other food containers. But they are just strong enough to hold a perfume each. It may look a little weird that I randomly did that. but in fact it can make the perfumes look tidy without organising whats behind them. I went for three perfumes that had interesting shape to them and when I look at my shelf I dont see clusters I see mmmm they look cute. 

This is probs my personal fav, but they hold the perf number of lipsticks and lip glosses. I can fit about six per holder and if you like me and dont have a collection of the same brand lippys this can make them easily look organised. 


If your anything like me, I cant even begin to control my eyeliners. I lose the lids, and I lose them all together. However using this funky popcorn box you can just put them in and leave. These boxes dont stand as well as the drink cups, however they stand perf for my eyeliners, as they are a little lighter and have a heavier base. Eyeliners come in all sizes so this is a perf idea at covering up the fact that you dont have the time to keep an organised collection of eye wear.

Makeup tutorial -Clubbing cover up.

Okay so im going out tonight clubbing with my gals, and as usual there will be millions of selfies taken.
I love selfies however I'm not even close to ready yet.
Most people in clubs CAKE themselves in makeup to look good, and not only is that bad for your skin it makes you sweat more and any drop of liquid on your face can leave a bad look.
So I went for the simple cover up my blemishes and I hope you like it

 okay lets start with the tools, Ive lettered them for reference.












READY TO GO!













Yup, no make up or anything uggg I KNOW UGLYYYYY...lets change that























Okay  so I have started with using the rimmel foundation (A), I then used brush D first to apply the foundation in the hard places (under the eyes, corners of nose and hair line) I then used brush E to then finish off. I used the brush by using light round motions so its spreads better and gives you an even coat. If your white like me you may want to even go below the face and ad a hint on your jaw and neck line.
I then went and use concealer(B) on the spots that still came through.
And finally to make a smooth complexion I used brush F to put some white powder/translucent powder (C)over the areas that hadn't dried yet, and over my hair line and jaw line to insure I had no orange lines.




















Contouring, this can help shape, cover up and do many  wonders to your face.
I start with using brush G to apply bronzer (L) to my temples, nose and cheek bones,(If you are unsure where each of these are, please read my post on contouring for a detailed image) as you see its quite heavy because I have a blending brush, if you don't have them and are using normal brushes I would recommend going much lighter.

I then used the white eyeliner (O) and scribbled it on my forehead about my nose and on my chin, and a little bit above my lip. I then used the "Cool effects" cream (M) and spread it over the area I place the white eyeliner on my forehead and smoothed it down to the tip of my nose, right over the bronze. Please note that it only took a very small amount of this cream, and if you dont own this then continue the eyeliner down to the tip of your nose. I then used brush H starting with the forehead and blending it with the bronzer in circular motions, down the nose and then the chin and above the lip, so the white is gone but you can see it has a different colour in your skin tone. I then brush over the bronzer on my cheek bones so there is no visible line, but it gives the illusion of a cheek bone.

I then place a very small dab of the highlighting cream (P) under each eye to remove any bags. If you dont own this once again you can use eyeliner or a light concealer. Then I used brush I and dabbed it over the cream, like a sponge. By the time you are done dabbing you should have a lighter area of skin, but not notice able. the area you you dab it is right under the eyes and bring it down to as low as about half way down your nose.




After contouring you should end up like this.
There should be more outlined parts of your face and you should have an even tone, with no redness showing.
















And now the last touch ups. I used the blush from this benefit kit (S) above my cheek bones using brush J. and then covered my whole face with a light dusting of the illuminating wand (R) to help lighten my fave a bit. and using brush K, I fill in any lose gaps in my eyebrows with some gel. and then using my benefit mascara (T) I do the top and bottom lashes to open and shape my eyes more. and finally a spray a bit of finishing spray (Q) to keep my look holding for the whole day. and without a doubt I picked a barbie pink lipstick. And let your hair down!!!!!


And if this look doesn't work out just pull a silly face and know body will even notice a blemish :)

I hope you like my look, and please comment for any questions :)
